How can I remove Windows Desktop Search from the taskbar, or at least permanently hide it from the taskbar? In my original attempt I selected the following:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
Then I selected Windows Desktop Search and "removed" it. Then I rebooted my PC. When I rebooted, the Search Desktop interface appeared in the taskbar next to the tray. Now it doesn't appear in the control panel.
Frankly it hasn't been useful, and I don't want it to take up the real estate in my taskbar. Microsoft, how can I get rid of it or permanently remove it from the taskbar? And, I shouldn't have to hack around the registry to do this.
